Book Review of The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


The book does appear to be a good period piece about the nautical life during the 1830's. However, I was disappointed in the way the story ended and the protagonist's ultimate deceit and decision. I felt the author was injecting a modern radical feminist viewpoint into the past, and the plot near the end just seemed very implausible.
